With Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe well underway, both on TV with the likes of Loki and WandaVision and on the big screen with Black Widow and the upcoming Shang-Chi, one of the big questions remains what exactly the next Avengersline-up will look like, something Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed is still being figured out. The cinematic tour-de-force that was Avengers: Endgame saw a number of stars exit the franchise including Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark/Iron Man, Chris Evans’ Steve Rogers/Captain America. Likewise, despite dying during Endgame, Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow finally bowed out after her solo-prequel.
The last time audiences saw the Avengers as a unit was at Tony Stark’s funeral, with the remaining members seemingly going their separate ways. Thor went to space with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Spider-Man had his less than relaxing summer getaway in Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Wanda Maximoff went to tackle her grief over losing Vision. However, as is often the case, the Avengers just require the right threat to bring the heroes back together again, and with Kang the Conqueror seemingly on the horizon after the events of Loki’s finale, that could be sooner rather than later.
